I just got the following in an e-mail message from the Japan-America Society of Central Ohio (JASCO):

Hailed as one of the greatest Japanese filmmakers, Kenji Mizoguchi produced more than eighty-five films during his career, many of which were filmed during the silent era and no longer survive. The Wexner Center for the Arts will show six of his films over a two-week period in January, including Ugetsu, Sisters of Gion, Sansho the Bailiff, Street of Shame, The Life of Oharu, and Story of the Last Chrysanthemums. More detailed information will be available in a couple of weeks, but please mark your calendars now!

I sure am looking forward to watching these films!
